Examples teach you to compose a composition and take good photos of the world of ice and snow.

Lead: No matter what theme photos are taken, the composition of photography is always crucial, and ice and snow are no exception. Always know what you want to express. Does your image have a harmonious composition, rhythm, and a balance of color, space and emotion? Whether the positional relationship between the subject and other parts of the image is appropriate. These are all questions that you need to think through the viewfinder of the camera.

A straight tree is becoming more and more energetic against the background of heavy snow. This fir forest, which grows in Saihanba, Inner Mongolia, is like a brave warrior, conveying strength and fortitude through dry trunks and branches. The viewer can not only feel the cold in winter, but also have a moving aesthetic feeling, which makes the viewer's sight stay for a long time. After a snowstorm, the windward trunk was covered with snow, the lifeless black branches turned half black and half white, and the places that were not completely covered with snow showed gray again. Rough black, white and gray tones make the layering particularly strong. The oblique sunlight shoots down through the branches, and small light spots are active on the ground in the snow, which makes the atmosphere in winter relaxed at once. Through simple composition and simple scenes, the author shows another attitude of some things towards winter.

Composition analysis

The combination of single horizontal line and vertical line highlights the strong character of fir forest. Except for the little dots of sunlight falling on the snow through the branches, most of the pictures are blue in the snow, and the hard black of the trunk is regularly presented in front of us, which is even more clean and cold. The height of the trunk does not run through the whole picture, but leaves some snow on the ground. Coupled with simple colors, the picture becomes breathable and has a sense of depth.

Nanga Bawa Peak in Linzhi, Tibet, which is 7782 meters above sea level, was rated as the top of the top ten famous mountains in China by National Geographic magazine. The Yarlung Zangbo River flows around the mountain, forming the famous Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon. But also blocked the warm and humid air flow from the Indian Ocean, and the rainfall was abundant, forming a famous glacier group in the surrounding mountainous areas. It is difficult to see the true face of this mountain because of the fog all the year round.

In the evening after a rain, the author was lucky enough to see the true face of this magical mountain. It's like a sawtooth. Under the sunshine, the snow-capped peaks are golden, as if they were made of gold. There are only a few clouds in the quiet blue sky, while the mountain backlight in the foreground is close to black, and the place where the sun shines is a red snow scene. A few bright colors at the right time can make people feel the rare mystery instantly.

Composition analysis

Two large curves pass through the picture, showing the main shape simply and easily. South Jabbawa Peak, the main body, is covered with a golden sacred coat under the sunshine in the evening, which is even more noble and intense against the blue sky. The area occupied by the foreground "Montenegro" is just right. On the one hand, it balances the picture visually and makes it more stable. On the other hand, it also highlights the strength of Jin Feng. The combination of blue, yellow and black better explains the mysterious and inviolable sense of dignity of Nanjabawa Peak in people's hearts. It can be said that the use of these colors is an important factor in the success of this photo.

Shooting practice

In winter on the dam, the wind is biting and the temperature drops to MINUS 35℃. With a white hair wind, holding a tripod and backlighting, I took this photo with a super wide-angle lens. Because the wind is too strong, the flat snow is blown like an undulating desert, and the snow particles flow with the wind, which is very dynamic. When composing a composition, the sky was deliberately set aside to take the sun into the picture. Use the small aperture of f/22 to shoot the sun into a star, making it the center of interest of the picture. On the basis of average photometry, the exposure compensation of 1.3 is added.

The cloudy days after the snow make the picture appear white, gray and light gray-blue, only the island and the shore are dark black, like a light-colored painting. Slant lines, horizontal lines and curves wander in between, so that Ranwu Lake in Tibet does not lose its vitality in peace.
